[Bug 3335] New: sshd_config docs for CASignatureAlgorithms don't mention the '+' argument
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3335

Bug ID: 3335
Summary: sshd_config docs for CASignatureAlgorithms don't
mention the '+' argument
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 8.2p1
Hardware: 68k
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: unassigned-bugs@mindrot.org
Reporter: wgoulet@gmail.com

Hi,

The CASignatureAlgorithms config line in sshd_config acts the same as
the Ciphers and HostSignatureAlgorithms in that you can add additional
algorithms to the list by prepending the algorithm name with a '+'. But
the documentation does not make this clear.

Suggest adding additional description text like the following:

If the specified list begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified
algorithms will be appended
to the default set instead of replacing them. If the
specified list begins with a ‘-’ character, then the specified
algorithms (including wildcards) will be removed from
the default set instead of replacing them. If the
specified list begins with a ‘^’ character, then the specified
algorithms will be placed at the head of the default set.

Thanks,
Walter
